Hi all,
completely new to reptiles so any advise at all will be gratefully received. Thanx.
Have promised my son a much wanted lizard as a christmas pressie (- don't panic, this family believes that all animals are for life)
I've done quite a bit of research and found a local vet who specialises in exotics, think that a beardie will be the best type for us as beginners. Views please????? Reqire a lizard which is quite happy to be handled frequently.
Interested to know if beardies are best kept on their own or as a pair? (ie. 2 x females) - not interested in breeding.
Am I best to buy a viv that fits the lizard(s) at which ever size I purchase them at, or am I best off getting the largest size poss.and letting them grow into it?
Having youngish children am I best off getting beardies as babies so that they grow up used to the kids handling them?
Janine.
Anyone from P'boro area?
